Spot fixing is very difficult to prove. Unless you bowl for Pakistan.
Online bookmakers are to blame ultimately for this latest fraud. Without them there would be no conduit for this crime.
Just read that whilst we had the doubtful honour of being the first team to be relegated and win the cup, there is a precedent for winning the cup and being promoted to the top flight.
West Brom in 1930-1 apparently.
You just never know with football ;) :woohoo:
Very close call this year between the two.
Last season definitely win the cup over staying up.
I miss the TV coverage of the Prem, if not the politics and over hype! To defend the cup would put us on the map forever (if we aren’t already on it :lol: )
Last season’s cup run we did get a lot of luck in the draw, Everton aside, to the final. No critic, even Mowbray, could say we’ve been lucky this year with the draw!
I’ll go for win the cup again, just
Top match that tonight. In the end the result was probably a fair one.
We proved tonight we are the only team in the division who can give Leicester a real fight on current form.
Some cracking passes by Jordi and his corners were a real threat. McArthur had a top game as well I thought.
Definitely looking for 6 points from next 2, 9 from 3 and we should be pretty much nailed on for the play offs.
I must admit I struggle to understand the mentality of some of our fans. I’ve heard so many people who I consider, and they probably would too, to be diehards that arent going. They’ve spent all season saying Thank God we’re shut of the Premier League, they would prefer another FA Cup win to promotion etc. etc. then turn round and say they are missing Wembley so thay can afford to go to Burnley, Blackburn and last Saturday to Bolton. So depsite all they said previously, they decided to cheer the team on towards a division they don’t want us to be in at the expense of cheering the team on to a cup they claim to want to win again.Never in a month of Sunday’s did I believe genuine Latics’ fans would be blase about an FA Cup semi final. I find it a bit depressing really.
Going to Wembley should be the priority IMHO. Just never know when/if we will go again, although the prospects look promising for May :cheer:
I was planning to go to Bolton, but missed it to save up for Wembley….
Bet that was an eye opener for the Germans. Welcome to Leigh – Twinned with 1835.

It least it’s not twinned with 1860 :lol:
Anything that hits the back of the net is a good goal but the City pen was a poor penalty for me , you hit it hard and right in any of the four corners and if the keeper saves it hats of to him , that’s my preference .Easily said typing on here… :S
Hit it hard into the corners greatly increases the chances of missing the target. Straight down the middle will score nearly always…eg Gary Linaker v Cameroon.
Do prefer a bit of power though, wherever it’s hit B)
A good save by the keeper. Fair play to him…
Yeovil penalty was weak.
But both times he hit the target. That’s the first rule of taking a penalty (Chris Waddle anyone
)Maloney number 1 choice if he’s fully fit. Jordi won’t let us down when it really matters ;)
Whilst it is disappointing not to score a penalty, especially that late on, this is exactly the type of game we were loosing under Coyle.
Good set of results otherwise, Ips/Forest drawing, Reading & QPR likewise.
Automatic promotion is all but gone, but was always going to be a long shot. 8 games to go, 5 at home….only ourselves to blame if we don’t nail down a play off spot. I still say if we get in the play offs we will win it…big match experience, big match players….Jordi won’t miss a penalty when it really matters :cheer:
Small, but good staff and reasonably priced
The staff were vertically challenged and were for sale? :ohmy: Sure that’s against the law these days???[/quote]
:) You need to know where to shop[/quote]
I’ve heard about those sort of shops; illegal for certain :ohmy: As ever we will bow to your superior knowledge Griff :lol:
I cant make Saturdays game so my wife has agreed to drop off and pick up my 13 year old son and his mate at the Reebok stadium on Saturday.
Anybody know if she is ok to park at the Middlebrook for the duration of the game and do a bit of shopping or is it like Robin park were she risks getting a ticket, many thanks in advance.If she’s parked on there for shopping (and has receipts) then how would the parking Stazi know she was there for match purposes as well ;) :lol:
I used to work near the Reebok a few years back. We were allowed to use Asda car park as an overspill…not Tescos.
Bottom line is private parking tickets are unenforceable for a number of legal reasons. You can chuck them in the bin along with any letters “inviting” you to settle up to avoid court…These people are vermin and can be treated as such.
Have a look at http://www.pepipoo.com for further advice.
Made up managed to get the exact same 3 seats we had for the Final. :cheer: :cheer:Quite a painless process as well. Beats the hell out of queueing in the pissing rain and the cold for 6 hours !!!! :(
Sure does…
Sorted by 12.25. Took a few minutes to get logged on but straightforward enough. 2 tickets block 501 £50…12 rows lower down than we were for the final…2 blocks nearer to half way line.
We are showing under Uwe we have what it takes to get out of this league. They don’t call it the hardest league in the world to get out of (upwards) for nothing….
We conceded a soft goal against the run of play. Not to panic though, we knew we would hit back….
Last winning run was 8…this winning run I’ll settle for 7 ;)
